TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- An investigation into a Saturday morning stabbing case continues and could be presented to a grand jury, according to authorities.

Homicide investigators were called to a residence in the 1900 block of 29th Avenue at 6:30 a.m. Witnesses said a 36-year-old man was stabbed repeatedly by a 40-year-old woman during a fight after the man put the woman in a headlock, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander Capt.

The man was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center, where he was treated for stab wounds. He is currently in the hospital's intensive care unit.

The woman was interviewed and released.
